 | Mitchel Chilcott Biography: I’ve lived in Fort St John since 2000 and have seen the transformation of the Fort St John Co-op Association—from a struggling organization to a strong, relevant, and community-focused business. It’s been rewarding to witness its revitalization and the positive impact it continues to have on its members and the broader community. My involvement with Co-ops began early in my career, working as a grocery and lumberyard clerk with Borderland Co-op. Later, while farming in Saskatchewan, I served as a Director for the Welwyn Co-op. Since moving to Fort St John, I’ve spent over 10 years on the Fort St John Co-op Board, including several years as Board Chair. I bring a broad background in finance, governance, and leadership. Professionally, I’ve held roles with Credit Unions and Scotiabank, which have given me insight into financial management and community-based business practices. I hold a Master of Business Administration and am a Certified Professional Accountant. I’ve also gained valuable board experience through my involvement with the North Peace Seniors Housing Society and the Fort St John and District Chamber of Commerce. I believe in the Co-op model and the role it plays in building strong, resilient communities. I am committed to supporting continued growth, sound governance, and ensuring the Co-op remains responsive to its members' needs. If elected, I will bring experience, accountability, and a focus on long-term sustainability to the Board. Thank you for your consideration. |
